Charging an IPV Mini?

[Guitarz4me]

Question for all of your experts out there...

Just picked up the new ipv Mini at my local shop along with a new 18650 battery. It's a 2600mAh with 38A. The battery was the recommedation of the shop owner, who I trust

My question is more on how to charge the battery. In the past, I have used devices such as the MVP and the istick, which all have internal batteries, so charging was nothing more than plugging in the microusb cable. The IPV Mini has a microusb port and comes with a charging cable, so can I simply just plug it in and internally charge the battery? Is that the safest way to do it or should I get an external charger?

Thanks for your help

Yes, the USB port will charge the battery... or if you want hot swap capability, buy a charger from Nitecore, Xtar, Pila and Efest.

Just my subjective experience, but I have an ipv2s and found you get a fuller/better charge using an external charger. With the mini, it's very easy to remove the battery to charge it.
Enjoy your mini!

Will the device automatically shutoff charging once full charge is reached?
